Vintage garage Gadgets, Testers-Scopes etc
 

Anyone have vintage garage gear on display or in use? I have several some used to be in every service bay. Snap-on, Sun, AC, you name it.. Here is one of mine AC ST 200 this is a 1970 model.

I kidnapped the guy who used that equipment in 1970.

Phil, wouldn't mind having that light bar in background, except you would want more than what my roll back is worth,lol. When my son was a youngster, he busted mine not having a car bound down on the bed...kids! I have a Sun VAT 40 on a cart I gave a whopping $7 at the vocational school auction up the road from my farm.

Are you saying you need an F/S aerodynic for your Roll back? That light bar in the background is the mini Aerodynic from the 1982 Z-28 Indy Pace Car.

I just posted this over the weekend but recently found and purchased this Sun 504 unit which will see full time duty in the shop. I also located and am in the process of getting one of those huge Sun Diagnostic centers from the 70's which will also see full time duty.

Re: Vintage garage Gadgets, Testers-Scopes etc
 

Love the CD Ignition and the Sun machine ! Wish I had the space for the Sun equipment, I've passed on several &amp; yes it haunts me!!

Here is a neat little AC item keeping with the ignition theme. It's used to set the dwell angle, dated 8-59.

It wasn't used much, that is for sure. Went back last night and bought another pick up load of tools and gadgets. She had a briefcase sized oak box with bearing cages that was meant to hang on the wall. Inside was a parts list that said these were all for Indian and Harley bikes. Based on the font it appeared to be from maybe the 40's. Went to pick it up last night and she decided to keep it because she thought it was neat....... Dammit!

Re: Vintage garage Gadgets, Testers-Scopes etc
 

I wonder how much this would be worth?

Have a few other vintage pieces,but that is because I bough them new in the 70's

Re: Vintage garage Gadgets, Testers-Scopes etc
 

Nice! A friend of mine had the top half to your item, always wondered what the bottom half looked like.

Re: Vintage garage Gadgets, Testers-Scopes etc
 

Cool! Looks like the 1980 version of the ST 200 right?

Re: Vintage garage Gadgets, Testers-Scopes etc
 

Has a date on it form 1979.

Re: Vintage garage Gadgets, Testers-Scopes etc
 

Anyone seen one of these this old? any idea what its worth? or year?

Not a gadget or a scope, but ran across this at a flea market this weekend and had to buy it. My dad had one he worked on for prob 30-40 years, and I have to admit it brought a tear to my eyes as it was such a part of my dad and his work to make a better life for his family. Rest in peace dad, I miss you every day.

[img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] I get it!

Re: Vintage garage Gadgets, Testers-Scopes etc
 

Very cool Mark. I have a Jeepers Creeper that is a bit older, with the &quot;claw&quot; style corners. Will try to post a pic tonight.

Re: Vintage garage Gadgets, Testers-Scopes etc
 

Thanks guys. Would love to see that one.

Re: Vintage garage Gadgets, Testers-Scopes etc
 

I bought this at a flea market in Pasadena last month.

Nice Damien! Does it work?

Re: Vintage garage Gadgets, Testers-Scopes etc
 

I'll be honest Sam I haven't had a chance to check. I was told it does but isn't that standard fare at a flea market, never bought anything that didn't! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img] I will have a look in the next few days and let you know. I paid $10 for it.

Re: Vintage garage Gadgets, Testers-Scopes etc
 

I like it Damien! Just keep in mind that if it was made in America, in order to get it to work &quot;down&quot; your way, you may have to turn it upside down and rotate it in a CCW fashion in order to get it to work. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img]

Nice piece Damien. If you have any problems with the operation of this in Australia I have a few thoughts to share! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/whistle.gif[/img]

Re: Vintage garage Gadgets, Testers-Scopes etc
 

You are clearly an under utilised talent Sam! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

Re: Vintage garage Gadgets, Testers-Scopes etc
 

Sure, I suppose I better head down to Australia one of these days and test my theories! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

I use this one regularly. Has the claw foot design. Recently set a car down on it (doh!) and broke one of the wheels. Lisle no longer makes replacement wheels. Found one on ebay that I was able to extract from the later model holder and replaced the broken one. This works better than the 6 wheel ball bearing model I had, so I gave the &quot;new&quot; one to one of my sons.

Re: Vintage garage Gadgets, Testers-Scopes etc
 

My Buddie Bob Got this at the Monroe swap meet (Fall 2016) for $50.
It is marked Edmonds School District, assuming from a Auto shop class room environment.
I bet I can read it w/o glasses LOL.

That's amazing that you still use those. LOL, my new one from Craftsmen is occasionally stubborn to move so I can't imagine using one of those &quot;older&quot; ones. Kudos to you.

I grew up on my father's. He still has it. It always worked well for me and still does. Head rest was comfortable too. Even with the piece of Duct Tape lol...
